The original building formed part of the hospital of Usk Priory. The roof of the present building dates from c.1400. The architectural historian John Newman; who refers to the building as No. 28, to which No. 30 is joined and held in single ownership, notes the "hoodmould and idiosyncratic spurred stops" as the architectural features which enable dating to the early 15th century. The building is listed Grade II* on the Cadw record of Welsh listed buildings.
